I believe its in 1.3.5 and later.

Thats not per mountpoint, that is per mount type. We want to e.g. be
able to set the pathname character encoding to different things on
different servers, not just per backend.

Its not rocket science. We would need storage for each mountspec and an
api to access it. However, Ideally I'd like to wait for dconf to land in
glib so we have a sane API for this kinds of stuff rather than having to
load files with out own format.
